Trekking In Lake Tamblingan

Working as a Bali tour guide, I also get a chance to get people to Lake Tamblingan to start their natural trekking journey. It is a great way to see Bali closer by doing trekking in Lake Tamblingan. (not in the middle of the lake, but by the lake). First, you will descend from Munduk village down to the Lake Tamblingan. There is a trekking guide association office by the lake. This is where you will pay for the local guide (trekking guide). You will start your journey passing through various plantation, such as coffee, chocolate, and clove. You will hear the bird singing in the air, and inhale fresh air to your lungs and think "what a great day." The sun glows above, the lake surface shines like a crystal by your side. After two hours trekking, you will arrive at the other side of Buyan lake. Now what? Do I have to walk back the way I came? It is interesting, but I have done that. Don't worry, here is a little secret, we will take you back on a canoe voyaging through the ...

Coins At the Pond Bottom

Image
Touring to Kintamani , just after Tegalalang, you can visit the holy spring Sebatu temple. You will notice that in one of the spring pond, there are coins scatered on its bottom.At first, I wonder why people put there since in our culture, it is not common to throw coins to the pond. Then I found out that they put the coins because they think this is like a "wishing well". You throw coin, say your wish, and if you are lucky your wish maybe granted. (Try wishing Nintendo Wii, I wouldn't mind to have one.) But it is not a "wishing well". It is a holy spring pond. Legend says it was created by Lord Visnu to cure the wounded people during the war against Maya Denawa (an evil king). Some Bali drivers or tour guides create stories to make it more interesting for the tourists that if they throw coins they will get your wish granted.( This is for fun only.) So, if you visit this temple, please donate to the temple directly instead of throwing your coins into the pond.

There is no such thing as free toilet

So, you need to go to toilet when you are at Tanah Lot Temple or Kintamani? No problem. Toilets are available almonst everywhere in popular tourist areas . Just need to prepare to pay for the "service" you get in the toilet and choose the most "suitable" one for you. In public places, the toilets are not as clean and maintained as those in the 5 star hotels. Once when tour guiding in Bali , my clients asked me if they could go to public toilet. Why, sure, and I pointed at the public toilet. They had a look inside it, and decided to just wait until they found a decent toilet. It was dirty and it's what you refer as hole-in-the-ground kind of toilet. Furthermore, paying to go to toilet is just something they felt as "against the human right". Yes, you need to pay to use the toilet. Different charge for different service. Outside the toilet by the door, you will see a box on where you can put the money in. Usually a person sit buy on the chair guarding ...

Trekking to Waterfall of Gitgit

Image
On your tour to the north Bali , you will usually stop at this stunning waterfall. Some tour operator prefer to go there before arriving at Lovina, but some others stop after Lovina. I personally like to visit this waterfall after Lovina, on the way back from north Bali. From the picture, you can see it is multi tiered waterfall. And it is such a beautiful view. You just need to be fit to go there. The route path to the waterfall is very challenging with lots of ups and downs. You'll walk across lush plantation (tropical forest) and reach the waterfall after walking for about 300 meters. But believe me, the walk feels more than 300 meters. When you arrive in the waterfall you will astonished by the beauty of the waterfall. Note that there are some a couple waterfalls around Gitgit If you want to visit this particular waterfall, you should bear in mind that is the "multi tiered" waterfall.
